FOX Sports' Jay Glazer reported on Wednesday that after battling a drug issue, the 28-year-old blocker has gotten clean and wants to return to the NFL.

"I have never been so proud of a guy I've trained than I am of John Moffitt," Glazer wrote on Twitter. "Retired two years ago (because) he knew he had drug issues, took time to go to rehab, clean up his life, beat his demons and he has taken his life back! Guy inspires us every day. He came to me three months ago at (Glazer's gym) Unbreakable to train to take his career back. He's become the favorite of every player in our gym. He officially un-retired today. Free agent starting guard. So proud of him to get here."

The Broncos announced that they released Moffitt on Wednesday.

After his retirement in 2013, Moffit said the NFL made him feel like a commodity and he questioned the long-term health of players. His life unraveled from there with partying, alcohol and drugs at the center -- including several run-ins with the law. The New York Times wrote a fascinating in-depth look at his life last November.

"Amazing how this guy took his life back. He's taught us in the gym a bunch about beating your demons," Glazer added about Moffitt's recovery.

The former third-round pick by the Seattle Seahawks started 15 games in the Upper Northwest before being traded to the Broncos in August 2013. Appearing in just two games in Denver, he retired less than three months later.

Well, he went to rehab and he wants to play. He was quite good with the Broncos see how 2 years away affects him.

Oh yeah.. Ray Rice ****ing decked his fiance in an elevator knocking her the **** out. How are they even related?

And one last thing. Rice would be playing today if he hadn't averaged 3.2 yards per carry his last year in the NFL.

Moffitt lied in 2013. He didn't even own up to his problems. He blamed them on NFL culture. He doesn't deserve a second chance. I hope he has to settle for an AFL2 gig because that the right place for no integrity bums like Moffitt.

Rice's body of work is enough to warrant a second chance. A subpar YPC can also be offensive line-related. Rice wasn't playing behind Kubiak's and Dennison's well-oiled front of 2014.

Lying is pretty damn low. Sure he deserves a chance but good luck finding one. This dip**** acts like it's easy to land a NFL job. It's hard to get a 90-man roster spot. Two years later and he has to compete with a younger crop of players, many of whom have no substance issues or a self-induced hiatus from the game. **** him.

So Moffitt is a bum and Rice should be playing.... so How many women have you beaten?

I toowas surprized
I wishmoffit well, He seems to have earned a second chance.
never mind Rice, Vick got a second chance,
moffit has,nt slaughtered any defenseless animals by grabbing their hind legs and smashing their sculls against the pavement.

Gotta say, if we cannot land Mathis, I would be on board with this clown coming back to Denver

If the Broncos wanted this POS then they would not release him. The fact they did, tells you what Elway thinks of Moffit.

Personally, I don't see him on an NFL team. He's burned a lot of bridges in the NFL and add in his rap sheet from the past 2-3 years. I don't think that spending 2 months in Jay Glazer's gym is going wash all that clean and entice teams to sign him.
